19.01.2022 The decision to exclude farmers markets from permitted food retailers has been overturned! REPOST @withregram @melbournefarmersmarkets The decision to exclude farmers markets from permitted food retailers has been overturned! Both Coburg Farmers Market and Alphington Farmers Market will be running this weekend.... After a crazy day lobbying, Miranda and other VFMA accredited farmers market reps have just come off the phone meeting with the decision-makers and the Government have overturned the ruling to exclude farmers markets from trading! At this late notice not all stallholders will be able to attend but we will open the gates for anyone who can and we beg you to rally last minute and show your support for Victorian farmers and producers, and the kick-arse MFM team. Please help us make accredited farmers markets count!

14.01.2022 Preparations continue to convert Barn Paddock into our new Market Garden! Our nanny and kid goats have had a fair crack at the oats so now the tarp goes on.

12.01.2022 Its nice to have 200+ kilos of weed-mulching muscle on the team! #collingwoodchildrensfarm #nonprofit #communityfarm

12.01.2022 Long grass and full bellies! When you come back to the Farm, you’ll notice plenty of changes. As well as all the lovely new gardens and communal areas, you might notice how long a lot of the grass is. Yes, we’ve had plenty of rain but we’re also trialling different ways to manage our pastures as we move toward a regenerative model of agriculture. ... We’re using moveable electric fencing to experiment with cell grazing, we’ve largely eliminated vehicle traffic from pastures and we’re looking at different ways to manage our animals. All this will lead to reduced compaction, better soil structure and health, improved pastures and healthy, happy livestock. So while the long grass might look overgrown to some, to us it is a thing of beauty. #collingwoodchildrensfarm #nonprofit #communityfarm

11.01.2022 Our newest farmer! Welcome to the team, Alfie! #collingwoodchildrensfarm #nonprofit #communityfarm

10.01.2022 We are hiring! Covid has seen the Farm bend and flex to adapt to the new normal and what that means for us and our community when we can be together again on the other side. We have had to make some tough decisions but we are optimistic that the Farm will emerge better than ever - with new offerings, new projects, new ways to engage and new spaces to enjoy. ... The journey will see the next two years inviting community to work with us to build the Future Farm for Covid Recovery and Climate Change Resilience. Were seeking a Business Manager to oversee the financial management of these new projects and the success of the Farm as we navigate this next stage. If you love the Farm and have experience in finance management, head over to Ethical Jobs to apply. Please share within your networks to ensure we find the best candidate for the job. https://www.ethicaljobs.com.au//Collingwo/business-manager #collingwoodchildrensfarm #nonprofit #communityfarm

10.01.2022 Its leg day at Collingwood Childrens Farm! If you think you recognise these timbers, youre right! Its all been salvaged after Yarra City Council very kindly restored our entry bridge and now, Tom and Ollie are using it to make improvements across the Farm. Here, its being used to put in a new boundary fence in the orchard. Gotta love the instant character that reclaimed timber brings to the table. ... #collingwoodchildrensfarm #nonprofit #communityfarm
